ALPINE ROMANCE AND HUT HAPPINESS: The most lovely, sustainable accommodations for a romantic weekend in the Alpes

Could there be anything more romantic than a secluded mountain hut, the red-golden slopes in front of the door and a crackling fire in the living room? We do not know the answer, and therefore we took a look around to find a place to relax and unwind together for a wonderful romantic weekend in the Alpes. And all this sustainably.

A romantic getaway in the Austrian Alps
Autumn in the Ötztal

In the midst of the Ötztal Alps is Sölden. For most of you, it will rather be known as a paradise for outdoor sports enthusiasts: from mountain biking, to hiking, to skiing in winter, everything is actually possible in Sölden. However, the place is also made for a romantic getaway in autumn. Apart from the main seasons, it’s much quieter and more relaxed, which makes it a perfect hideaway for a weekend.

There are two accommodations in Sölden that we recommend: the apartments and chalets of The Peak and LENI MOUNTAIN.

At The Peak, rustic coziness with lots of wood and loving details based on the original alpine huts awaits you and your loved one. As all accommodations are fully equipped, you don’t need to move around this weekend. Simply shop before you arrive and then enjoy the time just for you! The Peak provides you with a sustainable vacation experience. You can leave your car at home. Many hiking and biking trails start right outside the front door. By the way: the water originates from the mountains around Sölden village or from the own spring of the hamlet Grünwald. Water-saving filters, rain showers and energy-saving lamps are all part of the equipment as a matter of course.

Our tip: mobile phones off! Inform your friends and family that you will be Digital Detoxing this weekend (you can also do this via WhatsApp status). Then nobody worries, and you can enjoy your time together carefree.

Also in Sölden is the Arnold family’s apartments and chalet.

Having taken over their parents’ apartment house in 2016, the family has developed and implemented its own vision of a home in the mountains: Simple, natural, individual and sustainable. 2021 the luxurious chalet was added, in which you experience a mountain hut feeling of the extra class. With private chef, if you want 😉

Unwinding in your own mountain chalet

Only a few kilometers away from Sölden lies Pfunds. Encircled by pine forests and alpine pastures, you and your loved one can enjoy the autumnal nature and explore the mountain world.
Pfunds has been actively committed to climate protection for years and is a member of the Climate Alliance Tyrol. So, it’s not surprising that the Spiss family paid close attention to ecological and environmentally friendly construction methods when building their two Summit Lodges based on the Canadian model. The wood comes from the region, and even the orientation was decided according to the least wear and tear by weathering.
For you, this means: you experience a romantic getaway surrounded by scented wood in your private vacation home. View of the mountains included. Plus a fireplace and a private sauna. Even a rainy weekend becomes the most romantic getaway imaginable.

Sustainable, romantic hotels in Switzerland

The Swiss town of Zermatt is already the epitome of romance: surrounded by snow-capped mountains and overlooked by the Matterhorn, it lies in a valley and invites you to stroll, enjoy and hike.

You can spend a romantic weekend or an entire romantic vacation in two sustainable hotels. At CERVO Mountain Resort you can enjoy modern, alpine luxury. Restaurants, spa and private wellness treatments make your stay an all-round carefree feel-good weekend.
You’ll also feel super comfortable at the family-run Hotel Bella Vista in Zermatt. You can’t really help it if you already enjoy the view of the Matterhorn at breakfast. Furthermore, you can also book the spa area with various saunas, relaxation room and Jacuzzi all to yourself and enjoy a relaxing time for two.

The two hotels are committed to sustainability, relying on regional food and environmentally friendly practices. In addition, Zermatt itself is completely car-free. A special place, then, for a weekend for two in the mountains.

Come and unwind at these sustainable hotels in Germany

In the German Alps, you’ll also find some getaways for a romantic weekend in the mountains. For example, how about relaxing in the panoramic pool at Hotel Klosterhof followed by a treatment at the Artemacur Spa? Or would you rather unwind at the HUBERTUS Mountain Refugio and truly chill out in Germany’s smallest village? Or what about culinary delights of a special kind at Hotel Das Rübezahl and the Alpine Fusion Restaurant Gams & Gloria?

So many options, and they all have one thing in common: they provide retreats and spaces all to yourself, be it in your cozy room or in the private spa area.

One such spa suite just for you is available at Berghotel Rehlegg. After the treatment, you can relax together in the sauna or soak up the e!ects of the treatment in the lounge area. A little time all to yourselves.

Time for two – a romantic weekend in the mountains

A time-out together in the mountains; sometimes it doesn’t take much. A bit of mountain hut, a bit of golden leaves on the mountain slopes and a lot of time. Whether it’s a hotel or apartment, chalet or suite, you’ll find your sustainable getaway for a romantic weekend in the Alps of Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
